During his five-day tour to UP Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi took on the Mayawati- led BSP Government in the state. Addressing a Congress workers’ meet at Nanpara, Rahul Gandhi argued that the UP Government has been looting the Central welfare funds meant for the poor.
Once again referring JSY scheme the Congress General Secretary said that it is another case of a good scheme being misused in the state. He said, “the scheme meant for the benefit of the poor women is also being misused in Uttar Pradesh. Every poor woman is entitled to get Rs 1,400 under this scheme to meet the expenses incurred during child birth. But in Uttar Pradesh the money is getting wrongly diverted. We could gather information through the RTI that same women are shown to deliver baby every week. This clearly indicates that the money that should have actually reached the poor women is not reaching them.”
Regarding the pathetic conditions in the hospitals in the state he said, "few days back I had visited a hospital in UP. But there were no facilities. No doctors, no nurses and no patients. In another hospital I saw the dogs sleeping under the bed in the patients’ wards.”
Taking a dig at Mayawati he said, “I doubt that Mayawati knows the real problems of the people? She always travels by helicopter above people’s head. Unless she goes to the people, talks to them and listens to them she would not able to realize the reality."
